She probably has back pain and can't pass any stool because it hurts to squat
You can try one half of an aspirin for a few days or antiinflammatories like deramax or rimadyl daily if her back is troubling her.
If it continues take her to a vet

Thank you for your reply, since my post have taken her for a walk and she did pass some hard stools, she then seemed to perk up somewhat. Still not back to her old self but much better than earlir. Thank you, will keep an eye on her
